DR Congo
Edo Kayembe has missed every DRC game at the Cup of Nations, and it remains to be seen if the midfield man is back in action for the last eight.
Gael Kakuta was a significant miss for the Leopards in the round of 16, but the former Chelsea man could return for Friday's fixture.
Yoane Wissa and Cedric Bakambu have not delivered the goods so far, with the latter missing a group-stage penalty against Morocco, further complicating Desabre's plans.
Congo DR possible starting lineup:
M'Pasi; Kalulu, Mbemba, Batubinsika, Masuaku; Pickel, Moutoussamy; Bongonda, Kakuta, Wissa; Bakambu
Guinea
The Guineans have battled fitness issues with Naby Keita and Serhou Guirassy, with the latter's absence weakening their potency up top.
Ilaix Moriba is doubtful after sustaining an injury against the Lions of Teranga — the midfield man was not in the round of 16 squad.
Diawara could revert to a 4-2-3-1, with Syli National's top men returning to the XI for the first time since being handed starts against Senegal in their final group game.
Guinea possible starting lineup:
Kone; Diakite, Diakhaby, Jeanvier, Sylla; Konate, Diawara; Guilavogui, Keita, Sylla; Guirassy
Prediction: Congo DR 1-0 Guinea
